Need a $600 PC
What PSU do you have? That's not a component you want to skimp on. Since this is a new build, unless you have something ridiculously good, I'd recommend getting a new PSU anyway. As such, this is the build I'd suggest:

Edit: yeah, that EVGA 500W non-bronze unit is not a good PSU. Considering you don't have the money to step up to a 6600k or an R9 290 unless you ditch the SSD in addition to the PSU, you might as well get the Seasonic S12II to replace that crap-tacular PSU
